Daily Service – The Greatest Commandment

The Greatest commandment

You want to see Jesus sum up the whole of Levitical law in two commandments that trumps everything else ever written? I mean folks he shut up all the religious leaders of the day with this.

Matthew 22:34-40 (KJV)
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
